Canadian Exports To U.S. Set Record Cut Trade Deficit Ottawa, Sept. 20--(CP)--Canada is within a short distance of getting | a shiny, new Christmas present this | year--a big dollar cork with which | to plug the flow of her gold] reserves. ' | The experts say that though the cork this year may not be big enough to plug the hole completely, it appears now that it will be the biggest ever achieved in Canada's | trading history. Its size will be measured by Canada's' ability to reduce her traditionally big and irksome trade deficit with the United States and boost her dollar and gold reserves even beyond the present $1,255,000,000. How irksome this deficit -- the surplus of imports over exports -- can be was proved to Canada in 1947 when the deficit touched al- most $1,000,000,000 and started such a heavy drain on dollar and gold | reserves that they soon dwindled to below $500,000,000. | Recently, however, with Canada's | dollar devalued, exports have been | pouring into the United States at | an unprecedented rate.
